Introduction:

“Love Just Happens"Love just happensWhen you are not looking for it,Not paying attention,Unaware.You could miss it the first few times,But then, unexpectedly, Somehow this invisible magnetic energyPulls you and another person together.And you feel this beautiful magic,Like a gravitational force -As if the moon were kissing the sun.And their name,Becomes the most hypnotic nameAnd you die to see their eyesWhen you open yours

"Love" by Diana Mary Sharpton (2)

Every time.Love just happensWhen you least expect itAt any locationAt any time.It never announces its arrivalBut when it does find youIts warmth is so strongIt may frighten youYou could close your eyes and feel itAnd feel themNo matter where you areOr they areEvery time.Love just happensAnd it happens to everybody.But some people have their sensors off,Or hide from it,Or constantly look for it.Just don't think about it.Open your heart and it will find you.It always does.Whenever you think it forgot about you,It will hit you.Just like that – Every time.Love just happens.” ― Suzy Kassem

I feel powerful today or maybe the word is worthy, appreciated, included and needed at work… I am starting a Zambia class on Tuesday. Also, I am going continue to lose weight so I feel good about the changes I have been making, my future. All of which are baby steps.

Happiness is a choice and fixing those things that bother you is also a choice, therefore I am a “Work – in – Progress” so to speak. I wish for more but I am grateful for my life, my health, a good job, a son, daughter-in-law that loves me, a grand-baby almost one year old and then there is my Sugar...who I love ....all the way.

I grateful that my images are selling and that the “Round-Team” twitter fiasco is over with. I understand they move. It’s called “revenue stream stabilization/retention”. The incentive is to have their customer base stick to the current plan vs. the on and off movement from pay to free choices which leads to nothing that can be capitalized when seeking potential investors… Theoretically the penalty is less value and/or higher prices if this behavior is perpetuated… We shall see. On a personal note, I will never pay more for less value especially if the choice does not net me a profit on a monthly basis. So, I am glad they did not change my subscription and/or its value as they have done so for so many others. I would just have had to bite the bullet and go "Free" because in reality there is no profit stream for me as a photographer.

I predict that a smart tech will come along and blow them out of the water soon enough because frankly they have not thought this through. The customer uses this service for sales/profits and if you start killing someone’s profits guess what happens.

My featured artist this evening is the brilliant group that goes by ~ R.E.M and the song is fresh and sensual to me, just like I like it. It is titled “Strange Currencies” (3). It was uploaded on YouTube by Darkware and published on Aug 20, 2007.

"Strange Currencies" is included on the album Monster which was recorded in 1994 and released in 1995. As a single it hit #9 in the UK singles chart and peaked at #47 in the United States. Like Everybody Hurts on R.E.M.'s previous album, it has three beats to a bar.

"Strange Currencies"

I don't know why you're mean to me

When I call on the telephone

And I don't know what you mean to me

But I want to turn you on

Turn you up, figure you out

I want to take you on

These words, you will be mine

These words, you will be mine, all the time

Now fool might be my middle name

But I'd be foolish not to say

I'm going to make whatever it takes

Ring you up, call you down, sign your name

Secret love, make it rhyme

Take you in and make you mine

These words, you will be mine

These words, you will be mine, all the time

I tripped and fell, did I fall

What I want to feel

I want to feel it now

Y'know with love comes strange currencies

And here is my appeal

I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance

A fourth chance, a word, a signal

A nod, a little breath

Just to fool myself, to catch myself

And make it real, real

These words, you will be mine

These words, you will be mine, all the time

These words, you will be mine

These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat

Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh

I hope you like this selection as much as I do and have a blessed evening or morning. Thank you for your continued support. Remember music is a language and these are my thoughts tonight.

Peace and Love always

I think sometime you write without thinking of what is being said and the impact of your words on me, Sugar;... I love and I have already forgotten what you said... :)))) I need baby.References:1.Photography: http://www.vogue.it/en/uomo-vogue/people-stars/2015/01/norman-reedus ;

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.

Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.

Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.

Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.

Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.

Give the world the best you have anyway.”~ Kent M. Keith

I am being slammed at work and plan to get up early, like 4 am. So, this will be short and sweet. {{{Smile}}}

My featured artist group is the brilliant ~ Mystic Moods Orchestra. “The Mystic Moods Orchestra was a group known for mixing orchestral pop, environmental sounds, and pioneering recording techniques. It was created by audiophile Brad Miller. The first Mystic Moods Orchestra album "One Stormy Night", was released in 1965 through the label Philips.”

The first one is titled "Love is Blue". I have this album and listen to it all the time. It was uploaded on YouTube by Mystic Moods Orchestra - Topic and published on Nov 5, 2014.

Introduction:

“Don't love someone who wants to be loved, love someone who needs to be loved.”

― Vanshika Dhyani

How I Feel About Him - Poem by Tammie LeeAnn Thrasher

You give me that special feeling that I’ve never felt before.You’re all I want- Nothing less, nothing more.I fall for you more and more every day.I don’t want to lose you, no way! When I’m with you, everything else around disappears.When I think about not being with you, I break out in tears.I smile a lot to cover the pain.I smile so much, some may think I’m insane.I can’t help but to think about you.I never know what you’re going to do.You’re so unpredictable.But it’s ok, it’s cool.My feelings for you are strong.Weather we’re just friends, or more, I don’t want anything to go wrong.I write all of these poems to show how I feel.But nothing is false, it’s all entirely real.Why so many? I do not know.Letting my feelings out of my heart, somehow gives it more room to grow.I can’t keep everything bottled up inside.My true heart, I shall not hide.

My featured artist this evening is the sexy and brilliant, Texan ~ Norah Jones and the song titled “What am I to you?" is straight up country originally released in June 2014 as a single. It is the second track on her album "Feels Like Home". The song features The Band musicians Levon Helm on drums and Garth Hudson on the organ. Norah's genre is jazz, country and soft rock. This particular video was uploaded on YouTube by emimusic and published on Feb 24, 2009.

I am listing the lyrics below for your reading pleasure.

"What Am I To You?"

What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue

When you're feeling low
To whom else do you go
See I cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
Because I love you so

If my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I will love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you

Yeah well if my sky should fall
Would you even call
Opened up my heart
Never wanna part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
Could you find a love in me
Could you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies

I will love you when you're blue
Tell me darlin' true
What am I to you
What am I to you
What am I to you

I hope you like this selection as much as I do and have a blessed evening or morning. Thank you for your continued support. Remember music is a language and these are my thoughts tonight.

Peace and Love always

My Quote

T. S. Elliot wrote that “Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things”.
